The probable cause for your problem is you have set the value of 

Set Variable: "/SSNEntry/:txtWeek" = /Library:txtWeek

before Flash has actually received the value into memeory.

Load variables is not immediate (it takes time, so we normally do a test

on a variable that will be known to change when allthe variables have

been loaded and create a loop to constantly see if the variables have

ben loaded. When loaded we then go on to process the results.


A good troubleshooting technique is to use temp text fields and set

values to temp watch the progress.
